Find V0...
What I've tried
Assuming current goes around outer loop counter-clockwise:
Where i1 is current at 4 Ohm resistor: \(V_0 = -4 \cdot i_1\)
(I believe there should be a negative sign there because the assumed current is going from - to + across the resistor)
Using KVL around outer loop going counter-clockwise:
\(2 \cdot V_0 - 4 \cdot i_1 - 6 \cdot i_1 = 0\)
\(V_0 = 5 \cdot i_1\)
Clearly, these two formulas don't agree. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? I've really been wringing my hands over this one. Thanks!
